Esgarraet is Valencia's salt-cod and roasted-red-pepper salad: torn salt-cod, strips of roasted red pepper, garlic and olive oil, served cold as a tapa.
Esgarraet (Valencian for 'torn') emerged in the 19th-century inland Valencian villages, where dried salt-cod was the only fish available far from the coast. The fish is torn (esgarrar) into strips, mixed with roasted red peppers and raw garlic, and dressed with the best Valencian olive oil. The dish became canonical across the city as a tapa, especially at Casa Montana in the Cabanyal which has served the dish since 1836.
